From seedlings to harvest..
I forgot to mention that almost half of the clones were takin from the unused part of a cutting. What I mean by that is for a clone, I would cut a 5 - 10 inch branch off, at the node of a main branch. (These little 5 - 10 inch branches dont produce a lot of bud and take up alot of the energy, so i just snip the whole thing off). Then growers would usually cut it in half and only use the top half of it for a clone. Then I figured why not try and clone the unused part as well and if it works it will start out as 2 tops, just like when u top a plant.

You can see between the 2 tops where the first clone was takin from.
The "bottom half" literally started out as a stem with one little leaf, thats it. The tops are all new growth that wasnt there before.
Every single cutting rooted and they are all super healthy, and I was surprised to find out that the "bottom half" clones, actually rooted faster and grew alot faster too!
The lesson from all of this, if you clone a lot and you only use the tops, and you throw the rest away thinking u cant clone it, DONT! Use the unused portion of the cutting so you can get 2 clones out of 1 branch! Even if its just a stem with no leaves, just try it! I had a 100% success rate. :thumbsup:
